Lord, Father, God. I thank you that you are the Comforter. I thank you that You have all answers and all things in your hands. in In Job 42:10 you say that after Job prayed for his friends, You made him prosperous again and gave him twice as much as he had before. I pray that you will help my new friends here with the hurt for losing loved ones. I pray that they will find peace in you and not in drink or in the world. I pray that the peace that passes all understanding will fill their hearts and souls. I pray for peace for them above all. I ask that You will give them comfort in their times of trial and pain, that you will be their Alpha and Omega. I pray that as they walk through the valley of the shadow of death, they will fear no evil, for You are with us, and you prepare a table for us in the presence of our enemies. I pray that they will seek You, and they will find in You everything they need. I pray, in their hours of loneliness and sorrow and sadness and great pain over their losses that You will make yourself known to them, and You will be with them as you are with me.
I pray for Nathan as he grieves his brother's death. I ask that You will show yourself as His Comforter, His Rock, and His Blessed Redeemer. I pray that you will heal Nathan, take away his bitterness toward You, his lack of faith in Your faithfulness. I pray that Nathan will find his peace in You, Lord, and he will find peace that his brother is in heaven, safe, no more pain, the evil things are passed away, all things have become new, and Rick is there waiting for us. Let Nathan want to stay here, not wish for death, and want to complete Your Will for his life so he can gloriously enter the Kingdom of Heaven and bless and praise You as You intend for him. Let Nathan enter the kingdom of heaven pleased about his accomplishments in Your name. Take away the heart of stone that the evil one is trying to put upon him, and let him know that he will, once again, see his brother. Let him find peace and thankfulness that his brother is in heaven and not in hell. Please Lord, do not let the evil one turn Nathan bitter and sour over his brother's death. Let the evil one's plans for Nathan come to nothing. As sand falls between the cracks of the fingers, let the evil plans for Nathan fall helplessly and uncontrollably from the evil one's hands. Let Nathan turn his heart to you with all his body and soul. Thank you Lord.
Now Lord of my life, Father, and my God, I also pray that you will make Your Word good in my life too, and that You will make me prosperous and give me twice as much as I had before. Heal me too, Lord. You are the only one who can. I know that you gave Job children after the loss of his own. You gave him one for one. In the natural world, Lord, that is impossible in my situation, but Lord, I'm leaving it all up to you. I don't see with my natural eyes, but I will see with heavenly eyes, and I thank you that my son is in heaven with you, Lord, where he is safe, and well, and at peace waiting for us to come to him because he can no longer come to us. Let us find peace in that understanding.
Let Nathan and me, too, Lord, live with no regrets about Rick and our relationship with him. Heal our hearts Lord. Let us know that we will see him again, and the pain will pass away and all things will be new. But give us all Your peace here, Lord, now, in the natural as you have given these new Christian friends I have found here as a result of my prayers. Act as our Faithful God, and our dependable God, and our good God, and heal us. Let us find peace, Lord.
Give Your people peace Lord. Reach out to them and hold them in Your Loving Arms for you are a Great God and our Comforter.
Thank you Lord. You are so Good.
In Jesus Name, Amen.
